Hello.

This is Mind Dermatology's representative director, who sincerely improves the essence of the skin,

Director

I am Hongseon Lee, a dermatologist with 17 years of experience.

​

​

Ulthera's effects are good, but

I've heard it hurts a lot — is that okay?

​

​

When doing consultations,people who visit Mapo-gu Office Station Dermatologyask this question very often.

​

​

Worried about lifting because your skin doesn’t feel as firm as it used toand yet

​

​

I know some people postpone procedures because they're concerned about pain or swelling.

​

​

So todayMapo-gu Office Station Dermatology ClinicI'll focus on the questions I hear most often in the consultation room,

​

​

and share what people considering Ulthermage (Ulthera + Thermage) should definitely know. ^^

​

​

Should you really be worried about swelling after Ulthermage?

​

​

Mild swelling or a feeling of heat after Ulthermageismostly a natural recovery process.

​

​

​

​

Ulthera stimulates the deep SMAS layer of the skin,tightening sagging tissue, and

​

​

​

​

Thermage induces collagen production in the dermis,increasing skin elasticity.

​

​

In this process the skin recovers while producing new collagen,

​

​

and temporary swelling or a heavy, aching sensationmay appear, but it's not something to be overly worried about. ^^

​

​

Does more pain during Ulthermage mean better results?

Many people surprisingly ask this as well.

​

​

​

​

"It's okay if it hurts a bit more,

​

​

please make it stronger."

Some people say things like this.

​

​

However

​

​

하지만Stronger pain does not mean better results.

​

​

On the contrary, excessive energy that doesn't take skin condition into account can place unnecessary stress on the skin.

​

​

In fact, high satisfactionUlthermageis

​

​

not when the procedure is performed aggressively by default,

​

​

but when appropriate energy for the skin condition is delivered accurately to the correct layer.

​

​

The key to lifting is not strong stimulation buta treatment plan customized for my skin,after all.

​

​

Is Ulthera or Thermage alone enough?

​

​

​

​

Many people think they have to choose one or the other, but

​

​

in real practice that's often not the case.

​

​

Aging doesn't only cause sagging;

​

​

most of the time decreased skin elasticity, fine wrinkles, and texture changes appear togetherfor that reason. ^^;;

​

​

For example, if sagging is the main concern, Ulthera may help, but

​

​

if improvement in elasticity and texture is also needed,

​

​

combining Thermage can sometimes produce more satisfactory results.

​

​

Also, depending on skin condition, other treatments such as Sofwave lifting may be more appropriate.

​

​

So I

​

​

don't start by asking, "Should we do Ulthera or Thermage?"

를 먼저 결정하지 않습니다.

​

​

​

"consider which procedure the patient's skin actually needs,

​

​

and how to achieve the most natural and longest-lasting result."

​

​

We consider it first.

​
